No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Oreo Parfaits

A fun, chocolatey, no-bake dessert served up individually!

I love a good no-bake cheesecake type recipe! This one is pretty easy to whip up and it's served up in individual portions, so it's great for a party or get-together. I personally typically use mason jars for these types of desserts but I thought it might be easier to scoop into a stemless wine glass. It ended up being a little easier to eat out of the wine glass too, so win all around!

What you need:

• 18 Oreo cookies, crushed
  
• 16 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• Additional cookies and whipped cream for garnish
  

Directions:

1. Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla at medium speed until smooth.
2. On low, beat in heavy whipping cream and then increase to medium-high. Whip until stiff, about 4 to 5 minutes
3. Divide mixture in half into separate bowls.
4. In the first bowl, fold in 1/2 cup crushed Oreos.
5. In second bowl, stir in cocoa powder.
6. For assembly, use a mason jar/parfait cup and layer starting with chocolate cheesecake mixture, then cookie cheesecake mixture, then cookie crumbs. Repeat.
7. Chill for 2 to 3 hours.
8. Serve topped with whipped cream and an Oreo, if desired.
